yes, it's entirely reasonable to suggest moving TO ANOTHER COUNTRY because you don't like the existence of a parasitic industry (ticket scalping).
i love the US and i love capitalism, but let's not pretend capitalism or any other form of government is perfect. capitalism creates opportunities for ****ty behavior too. i'm not calling for them to be executed or persecuted by the government. i'm saying they are ****ty rent-seeking parasites. just because it's legal doesn't mean it doesn't make you an asshole. sorry if that includes you. but not really.
